However, Luyendyk has now insisted that the article is untrue, even though it appeared to include a quote from his manager.

"Woke up to a tabloid mess," he wrote on his Sulia page. "Mags haven't hit the west coast but when they do the truth is that my management was never quoted and I often wonder where they get this stuff..."

Luyendyk also denied the speculation in an interview with Wetpaint, describing it as a "big misunderstanding".

"I'm not writing a book, a memoir or any other sort of written piece," he said. "And in terms of the Jef and Emily part of the story, that's extremely false. I would never do that to them."
